Stars Songtext
von Fred Eaglesmith

And our trains wrecked
And our buses fell apart
We couldn′t see past the lights
We drove into the dark
We tore those places down
We burned them to the ground
And then we left those towns
Headed down the road again

And my hands hurt
From playing my guitar
Every night in all those bars
We played like we were stars


They'd back us in a corner
The crowd called out for more
We′d turn it up too loud
Play our way out the front door
Corey played the drums
And Willie played the mandolin
He jumped around the stage
We thought that it would never end

And my hands hurt
From playing my guitar
Every night in all those bars
We played like we were stars

When I'm an old man
And I can't make my way
They′ll ask me about my life
And this is what I′ll say

I'll say my hands hurt
From playing my guitar
Every night in all those bars
We played like we were stars
We played like we were stars
